The month of February is filled with preparations for important upcoming events. We are preparing for the Season of Lent which begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14. We will focus on the theme, “Return to me with your whole heart." These are the first words of scripture for Ash Wednesday Mass and are the first words the Church offers us this Lent.
